West Virginia State Flag

West Virginia entered the Union in 1863 as the 35th State.

West Virginia adopted its flag in 1905, modified in 1907 and 1929. The big laurel, the State flower, frames the shield of the State seal. The hunter and miner stand over a motto meaning "Mountaineers Are Always Free."

West Virginia state flags, flag decals, and West Virginia state deal decals are available from FlagLine.com.
